Mod to play as Miranda in Mass Effect 2. In essence you will be wearing the mesh as an armor(Kestrel armor; best armor by stats in my opinion). There are no voice changes, your character will have default Shepard's voice. You'll be able to see Miranda as a whole on almost every mission, on Normandy you'll be able to wear only her armor. 


RCW ME2 ModManager v0.3LINK IS DEAD ! Navigate to my other mod, "Play as Garrus", go to files and the download should be there.




1) Backup your Coalesced.ini!!(e.g. C:\Program Files\Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Config\PC\Cooked\Coalesced.ini)
2) Unzip the archive in the mods folder of ME2 ModManager.
3) Start ME2 ModManager.
4) In the left pane Select play_as_miranda(kestrel) and press '1 Click Apply+Save+Launch'. If you play with texmod then I would recommend to press 
    'Or ...Apply and Save As'
5) Start or load a game.
6) Press F12 to bring up the armor menu as an overlay.
7) Play with the sliders until the armor shows up.
8) Maybe the head will look messed up but dont worry it'll fix itself when playing.
9) Click apply, then exit to resume the game.

Big thanks to RangerDulann for making installation steps, I was too lazy to write them down myself.




Open my file with Notepad, Notepad ++, or similar program. Don't open it with advanced text editing programs like Microsoft Word !

Edit this line:

###FILE:..\BIOGame\Config\PC\Cooked\BIOInput.ini
[SFXGame.SFXGameModeBase]
+Bindings=( Name="F12" 

Change F12 to whatever you wanna use.

Just remember to save it as .me2mod ( Save as ALL FILES, not .txt ! ) and put it inside mods folder in ME2 manager.



1) Going to another zone will reset to default armor, so you have to reload the mod again. Just use the top slider then click apply.
Using F12 to bring the menu up changes the current map to one on Normandy's Deck 1(Captain's Cabin), because armor locker in which armor can be found is located there, and because streaming level is on Normandy (I might look into fixing it when I get some time). So basically, you are forced to see Normandy map wherever you go, the moment you press F12. Pressing "Shift" key (by default) however, points you in the right direction during your mission.

2) Also, head won't show in certain areas, like in some missions where you are required to use breather helmet, but I can't fix that, sorry. In that case, it's best to press F12 and choose some of the armors that won't make a big difference (just for that mision), and by that I refer to face-covering full body armors like Blood Dragon armor or Terminus armor (that is, if you have those).
